Melbourne and Vic meet...

Uh, you could be right, Major Tom, coz last time we met (winter solstice, near enough) it was in SWAN Street that we took such excellent coffee.  This time it'll be near the summer solstice and might be in SWAN Street again (no Banana or Crow Streets I know of here).  Sydney's pretty good, and the FC there (formerly South Melbourne) is called the SWANS.

Never been to Perth, so I have to rely on trustworthy opinion.  We were thinking of visiting Albany sometime in the W140, so is Perth worth the extra distance, then?

I reckon every city would be a ghost town if there were no work. :-X

But yes indeed, there wouldn't be much happening here if it wasn't for the resources sector. 8)

I love it though, I moved from Sydney which I thought was the biggest hole in the universe (in my opinion of course, and I was born there). I'd live in Melbourne if I was moving back to the East Coast for a hectic lifestyle.

If I was driving over to Albany, I'd do the loop back up to Perth and across to Kalgoorlie/Boulder. You've got to see the whole South West IMO, and if you're driving up to Perth you can cut across to Augusta/Margaret River so long as there aren't any fires... It's a stunning part of the world. 8)

I've been to Perth a couple of times, just three day trips with work, this was in the '80s, probably changed a lot now,

OK guys, are we meeting, and if so, when? 7th may not be hot and the crowds will still be under canvass by the sea, a long, long distance away.  If we leave it to the 14th, we could find ourselves back in a hot cycle. 

Carl, is the previous venue going to be OK?

Just saw the pics. Oh boy, you lot are a bunch ugly muthers  :o But when our forthcoming London meet pics come through I doubt we'll win beauty contest photos either ;)

Ok, then, it's Koan and me kicking around in the shop for starters.

I've just assumed that your OK to meet at the workshop, otherwise am happy to meet at another location, coffee dependant :)

I'll be there most of the day, but shall we say 10:30am or if that doesn't suit, open to suggestions.

Guys, I'm sorry but I am going to have to postpone the day I'm afraid.  A family matter has come up at short notice that I must attand to.  How about the following weekend, same place?


koan

Think we should postpone it till Feb, need a few more people to put their hands up, maybe too soon after the festivities.

Also start a new thread to remove possible confusion about new posts being about a new meet and not the last one

koan
Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, Amen!

What's happening with the proposed Melb meet, interest seems to have faded.

I can't make it on the 21st due to a birthday.

koan
Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, Amen!

Hi Koan,

Perhaps most people just agreed with your Feb suggestion!

I am OK for Feb.

Unless we should just make a date now and people will have to work around it.

Regards,

Carl.

Feb gives me a better chance of attending.
